Diane Von Furstenberg Country


If you've ever wondered where iconic fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg draws her inspiration, take a drive through Litchfield County, Connecticut. The former princess maintains a longtime residence there at Cloudwalk Farm in the town of New Milford, in addition to her Manhattan apartment. This region of Connecticut which is home to Von Furstenberg's 100-acre, 160-year-old spread, is certainly one of the most beautiful, awe-inspiring parts of the state and perhaps the country. Fall is an especially glorious time as gold, red and orange leaves blanket the rolling hills and carpet forest floors as well as the winding, narrow roads that hug the land. Keep reading to see a few photographs I took last weekend of the area (which really don't do it justice but ah well), including a few shots of the main entrance to Von Furstenberg's beloved Cloudwalk Farm. (The timeworn stone walls are one my favorite features.) Happy fall.
